Welcome to Inky Florals! This beginner-friendly class dives into the beautiful world of floral illustration using ink. It's my first "Style Study," where I explore how the same subject matter (florals) can be rendered in drastically different ways.

If you love botanicals, you'll discover valuable tips and tricks for illustrating stunning flowers – techniques applicable across various styles and mediums. We'll journey through three unique floral illustration styles:

  • Watercolor-Style Ink Florals: Learn to create delicate watercolor roses and leafy stems using ink as a watercolor substitute. Perfect for achieving soft, blended effects.
  • Abstract Ink Bouquets: Discover how to use black ink to build bold, painterly bouquets with an abstract aesthetic. Explore expressive lines and shapes.
  • Folk-Art & Modern Botanicals: Create eye-catching botanicals with crisp lines and strategic white space, blending folk-art charm with a modern sensibility.
